I work as Creative Director at Ralph Lauren and I have the pleasure to work with one of the most iconic legendary man in the world!
I’m a big love collector I love ancient French Lamps and I collect old Chinese print from 20th century its fun traveling all over the world and buy stuff for your homes.
New York was always in my blood and in my mind… I used to come in this city for work and for pleasure and I was always dreaming one day to come here and live here as a New Yorker..
I will never forget the first time I arrived in this city the first night I had dinner at The River Cafe…and I was completely in love about the view and the lights of this magic City and from there I started dreaming..
I’ve always been in the Upper East Side and I feel this is my neighbor and my city… I love the peace the quite and the green of Central Park. I choose this outfit to show my changes and my sensibility now working for this iconic American brand.
I think this is a great idea to do a book about Italians that had the courage to change their life and be very well established in this country giving their knowledge, culture and experience.
I always feel very proud and honored to be an Italian that live in America I’m bringing and I’m sharing my vision my taste and my lifestyle to this culture and its amazing how this two very different world can join and live together. Experiences is the key to grow and see many other point of views that help your creativity into many other levels.
